Jump map from Travellermap.com

Forever is a ring of many small worldlets (planetoids AKA an "asteroid belt"), not capable of retaining an atmosphere or water, and is also a low-population vacuum environment with a population of less than 10,000 sophonts, warranting hazardous environment precautions.

• Life in a vacuum requires great discipline. After all, it only takes one forgotten seal on a vacuum suit to spell death. Those who survive tend to be very methodically-minded and attentive to small detail.
• It is a member of the Third Imperium in the Annari Subsector of Massilia Sector in the Domain of Sylea.
• This is a "high technology" world with technology achievements at, near, or above the standard for Charted Space.
• This world has an Imperial Naval Base, capable of handling warships.
• It is a member of the Rhamsteppe-Mongrebi Main, forming part of the region known as The Access.
• At the founding of the Imperium this world was known as Kuui Shega.

Description (Astrography & Planetology)

Forever is a binary star system.

• The primary is a turbulent orange bright giant.
• The secondary is a red main sequence.

Forever has two stars in the star system.

System Data

The worlds of the system have been surveyed. They consist of:

• The mainworld.
• x8 secondary rocky worlds.
• x2 planetoid belts.
• x1 gas giant.

Mainworld Data

Forever is an asteroid belt mainworld.

It orbits within the outer system.

• It receives very low levels of stellar energy.

Mainworld Size (S)

Forever is an Asterioid Belt or Planetoid Belt consisting of a few very large objects with diameters of hundreds of kilometers, thousands of bodies of a few kilometers in diameter, and millions of smaller objects. Asteroid Belt is used when the belt is the mainworld of a system. Planetoid Belt refers to any non-mainworld belt within a system.

Mainworld Atmosphere (A)

Forever is an Asteroid Belt, where all the bodies are in vacuum conditions requiring the use of a Vacc Suit. TL–8 or more advanced survival gear is required to settle a belt.

Mainworld Hydrosphere (H)

The Forever belt contains a few icy bodies. A few belt objects may have frozen volatiles on their surfaces.

• Wilderness refueling is possible within the belt, provided a suitable icy object can be found.
• Water for the inhabitants is generally imported and is extensively recycled.

Mainworld Geography and Topography

No centrally held map of the belt exists within AAB Library Data records.

• Locally, detailed maps may be available.

(Placeholder chart, asteroid belt.)

History & Background (Dossier)

Forever lies on the Rhamsteppe-Mongrebi Main, an important trade route. It is a member of the region known as The Access, the long spine of the Main.

The system's huge primary star causes interference, strange tones and noises, and heavy static on commo and sensors.

World Starport (St)

Forever has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

• This world hosts a Naval Base associated with the 107th Fleet.

World Population (P)

Forever has a population of 50 sophonts (tens).

• This is a Low Population World and the population would be too low to sustain itself without significant outside assistance. This may represent a transient population such as the crew of a starship, the final survivors of a dying colony, an advance team setting up to receive colonists, or a small outpost where establishing a colony is not the primary objective.

Linguistic Topography

The most commonly heard languages are:

• Anglic, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.
• Vilani, one of the two official languages of the Imperium.

The population are all civilian staff and their dependents, making a living from the Imperial Naval Base.

World Technology Level (T)

Forever possesses a Technology Level of TL–15 or TL-F in Hexadecimal Notation.

• Common Communication technologies for this TL include: Meson Communicators and Pseudo Reality Communications.
• Common Power Generation technologies for this TL include: Miniature super-batteries, improved collectors, and advanced Fusion+.
• Common Transportation technologies for this TL include:
  • Land & Water: Advanced gravcraft.
  • Air: Advanced gravcraft and speeders.
  • Space: Advanced gravcraft and G-Carriers.
  • FTL: Jump Drive-6.

World Government (G)

Forever has no central government or substantial government apparatus; an Anarchy. The largest governmental structure would be a family, tribe, or single clan. The largest group will be between 50 and 100 individuals, and there may be dozens to hundreds of them. This governmental structure can be stable over long periods of time if the population remains small or geographically separated.

World Law (L)

Forever has no law in practice. It is an Anarchy. On many worlds, this by itself justifies an Amber Zone advisory. There are few laws, covering only important areas. There may be few or no law enforcement officers, the expectation is citizens will bring law breakers to the attention of the Judicial system. Legal proceedings will be fast, with few people involved. For interactions outside of the framework of the laws, cultural norms dominate.

Imperial Landed Nobility

Forever, as a member world of the Third Imperium has a member of the Imperial Landed Nobility who acts as an Imperial representative to the world.

• It holds the estate of an Imperial knight.
